Glenn Beck: ‘Hillary Clinton will be the next president’

He may have once called President Barack Obama the racist puppet of a vast global conspiracy, but conservative talk show host Glenn Beck seems to be more sanguine about his potential replacement, Hillary Clinton.

Beck, who left Fox News in 2011 to start his own media empire, predicted this week that the former secretary of state will be the next president, and not through any kind of trickery or skullduggery.

“Hillary Clinton will be the next president of the United States,” he said on his radio show Monday, citing a conversation he said a friend of his had with some “Hillary people” who outlined her alleged 2016 campaign plans. Beck said that as he heard the strategy laid out, he thought, “Oh my gosh, she’s going to win the presidency.”
